An Edmonton woman accused of murdering her mother made a "super creepy" statement to a friend several weeks prior to the killing, a jury heard Tuesday.

Testifying at the second-degree murder trial of Kirsten Lamb, Jordan Liebl told jurors about a conversation he had with the accused on the High Level Bridge relating to her mom about three weeks before the 2010 slaying.

"She said, ' One of these days that b---h is going to get it and, just between you and me, I hope I'm there to see it,' " said Liebl. "It was just super creepy."

Liebl, who knew Lamb, 32, and her mother from when he was a child and they were neighbours, testified they became friends after connecting on Facebook in 2008 and said she often vented about her bad relationship with her mom.

Under cross-examination, Liebl said what "scared the hell" out of him about the conversation was "the tone of voice" she used when she said it.

"It was quite freaky," he said.

The jury has heard that the body of Sandra Lamb, 49, was discovered in a blood-stained basement laundry room of her Capilano-area home on Nov. 29, 2010, and she had been badly beaten and her throat had been cut.

Jurors have also heard that Kirsten Lamb's DNA was identified from hair and blood seized at the crime scene.

Christopher Myers, who has three daughters with Lamb, testified Tuesday that Lamb had a "terrible" relationship with her mother and they would often fight.

Myers told the jury that he returned the girls to Lamb's home after a weekend visit around the time her mother was killed and said they had been having an amicable conversation until he brought up the death and then she showed no emotion.

"She was dead-cold," he said.

Myers also testified about their girls telling him that Lamb would lie down and say to them that she needed to "get the demons out" and that she used to hang a voodoo doll on a hook in the ceiling outside of their bedrooms.

"They said we can't leave our room when the witch doctor is up," said Myers.

The judge in the case has told jurors Lamb's lawyer might raise a defence of her being not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder at the time of the alleged killing.

The same jury earlier decided that Lamb was fit to stand trial after hearing evidence in a fitness hearing.
